Help Foster Our Vision

If you're a bibliophile aware of something (public domain or otherwise) that has lapsed into obscurity, and you would like to see it become readily available, please contact us at [email protected]. Please Note: We are not currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts from independent authors.

Welcome to Makeshift Press!

We are an independent publishing company specializing in rescuing obscure works of fiction and non-fiction from slipping further away from a potential audience. This is the era of Publish-it-Yourself, and we're doing just that. Demand for many books might decrease over the decades, but there's always an audience for even the most esoteric of work. In the information age, access to nearly anything occurs at lightning speed. But the key word here is "nearly." That's where we come in.

In addition to reclaiming the obscure, Makeshift Press also supports independent authors and presses through original publications and literary partnerships.
